Thank you for the replies.
I don't eat when I am not hungry. If anything, I have to make myself eat at times. I don't think I over eat at meals. I do exercise but it is probably considered "light"...I do Wii fit/active and stuff outside like gardening (my dr says gardening isn't exercise but she doesn't have have to deal with my gardens lol). I just take a multivitamin (something for women)..I will admit to missing it at times.
Percentages..here are examples for the last week. I don't think they look good. I have just focused on my carbs (salad/veggies).
Wed: (fat/protein/carb)83/14/2-was sick that day and forced myself to eat.
Thur 78/13/8 (made up for Wed lol)
Fri 72/23/5 (tried hard)
Sat 70/23/6
Sun 80/15/5
Typical day..sausage (no sugar or nitrates), eggs; salad and some sort of meat; dinner remaining salad or veggie and some sort of meat. 2 small coffees/day..total of 1 splenda packet, 4T cream. Average about 140 oz of water. If I snack, it is usually a small salad or cheese. Occasionally have jello (made with splenda) at night. I really try to keep things simple and stay away from excess "sweets" (legal ones). I do tend to eat beef a lot (hamburgers, steak)..which I know adds to the fat.
I try to remind myself this isn't going to be a quick fix to my weight. Honestly, I am happy with weight loss even if it is a pound. I just want to know why I am not losing and if there is something I can change to make things better. I don't want to keep going making mistakes. It is kind of hard because I did do Atkins before in 2003 and lost weight with no problem (using all kinds of frankenfoods too
). I know that isn't going to happen now and I do want to do it right.
Thanks again for the replies!
